Old Testament
Helek
A descendant of Gilead and son of Manasseh whose family received an inheritance in the land of Canaan.
Helek was a grandson of Manasseh through Gilead and the head of the Helekite clan. His significance lies in the census records of Numbers 26 and the subsequent division of the tribal inheritance in Joshua 17, which documented the fulfillment of God's promise to Israel regarding the land.
